Statistical Methods Training Overview
Statistical methods courses are designed for employees and assignees of SEMATECH and its subsidiaries, specifically those who:
- are implementing the guidelines of the SEMATECH Qualification Plan.
- wish to develop hands-on statistical skills by taking state-of-the-art short courses covering key areas of industrial statistics.
The courses have been developed by ISMI and are taught by Predictum instructors. Courses which illustrate statistical concepts with the JMP software package use version 8.x of JMP.
